People keep saying it's fine to go over the trucks weight sticker ratings. Sure, it will pull, it may even stop, sort of. But if you ever get in an accident, the first thing the insurance company will do, is check to see if you were over ratings. When they find you were, your insurance is no good, and lawyers from the other vehicle in the accident, will come after you with a vengeance. After all, you negligently disregarded the trucks specifications. You are at fault. You can imagine where that will go.

Just because an RV has a GVWR that is higher than the trucks rating doesn't necessarily mean the RV is loaded up to full capacity. I repeatedly weighed my setup on DOT scales and was quite often over 1000 lbs under the GVWR of the RV. Lets not get to hung up on technicalities. I carried those weights receipts with me.
